The Star Within

Awaken the spirit and the taste of trustA star burns under flesh covered bonesEnergy builds, emboldening us as it growsStories reside within, desiring to be told

The pressure builds as it wells up inside
Leaking out through our subconscious realm
The battle of the winds in our minds increases
Mystifying and awakening our conscious dreams

Myths become legends, fantasies now realitiesAt one with our Father’s and Mother’s legaciesDrawing upon their strength and knowledgeForging a sacred path to honour their lineage

The heritage of the flesh no longer matters
As matter dissolves into the Cosmic Energy
The stories of Father Sun and Mother Moon
Becoming the light of our true spiritual legacy

Proud of choices we make to influence our fateA mantra cancelling all of our negativity and hateFools will not be suffered gladly on our own questsPushing all the boundaries, accepting nothing less

And nothing more is there to be found
Once the veils of Maya and Mara come down
Illusions and desires no longer trap our souls
The star within bursts out, we become whole

Pieces of the puzzle now fit snugly into placeUnderstanding the logic of the human racePeace and love dwells deep inside all of usShower it on others, in their joy we can bask

Bodhisattvas of compassion and love
Angels and spirit guides sent from above
Awakened beings we all are meant to be
Trust the light inside for we need it to see
